Crash & The Bandicoots
Swindon band free 2 track EP... be quick
Thu 8 Dec 2011 20:14
Swindon based alt-pop band, Crash & The Bandicoots have an awesome 2 tracker for free download from their bandcamp.

They played a stuffed Wackey Wednesday last week, and suitably impressed, now I understand they will be removing this ep shortly for free download, so go grab.

I liken it to Beck's weird and wonderful approach. It's alt pop, weird vocal effects and samples mixed with decent pop melodies and shouty chants. It's ace.

Oh, and currently on Wiltshire Introducing tonight!

Told a complete Porky Pie last night, the band have taken those 2 songs off of free download (still there to stream) and stuck up a new one for free download - so get that one.

So super proud to of got them their first show at The Vic via the Wackey Wednesday! They are superb!

Quite possibly my favourite band to come out of Swindon, if that's where they are going to sat they're from ; )

Their drummer lives in Frome, and their Guitarist in one of the Devizes villages...

I haven't stopped listening to these songs since I got them. Just genuinely inventive and exciting, which don't take them selves too seriously and they stick in your head, mine anyway.

Go Ewan!!

Saw these guys at 12 Bands of Christmas last night and whilst they were not playing their own songs...though they turned in a brilliant take on Talking Heads... there was something brilliant, energetic and quirky about them, definitely a band I will be seeing more of.
